What each one does differently

Taplio

$39/mo 7 day free trial MCP API

Why it comes up: LinkedIn studio with hosted MCP if you also want comment automation.

Stands out: Hosted LinkedIn MCP server, so Claude or ChatGPT can draft, schedule, and queue comments on your Taplio account.

Watch out: The 7-day trial gives full Pro access, then you move to the plan you picked. Unlimited AI credits and automated lead outreach are on Pro at $199/mo.

Best for

  • Creators who want LinkedIn drafts, analytics, and comments in one app
  • Founders building a personal brand on a $39 plan
  • Users who will run LinkedIn from Claude via MCP

Supergrow

$19/mo 7 day free trial MCP

Why it comes up: LinkedIn post writer with AI drafting at a similar entry price.

Stands out: Postcast turns a short AI interview into several LinkedIn posts, and Pro adds a Supergrow MCP server for Claude or ChatGPT.

Watch out: Starter caps Postcast at 2 sessions and leaves out carousels, analytics and MCP. Those need Pro at $39/mo.

Best for

  • Solo creators starting on the $19 Starter plan
  • Executives who would rather talk than write posts
  • People repurposing videos, articles and PDFs

Buffer

$5/channel/mo Free tier 14 day free trial MCP API

Why it comes up: Multi-network queue if LinkedIn is only one channel.

Stands out: MCP is included on the free plan, so Claude or ChatGPT can draft and queue posts without a paid seat.

Watch out: The $5 figure is per channel on yearly billing; monthly costs more. Free caps you at 10 scheduled posts per channel and one user.

Best for

  • Creators scheduling LinkedIn and other networks from one queue
  • Teams that want MCP on the free plan
  • Developers using the Buffer API

MagicPost

$29/mo Free trial MCP API

Why it comes up: LinkedIn writing if you want another AI-assisted post tool.

Stands out: Publishes through LinkedIn's official API, not a browser extension, with an MCP server on the content plan.

Watch out: AI post generation and API/MCP start on the second plan ($39/mo annual, $69 monthly). The entry plan is manual writing plus analytics.

Best for

  • Creators who want LinkedIn posting without an extension
  • Agencies managing client LinkedIn accounts
  • Companies running employee advocacy on LinkedIn
